Hello, in the 1/8 stent model everything goes according to the tutorial and i get right results. When I tried to simulate the full stent model, i constrained the 8 faces of the edges of the stent on both sides, in order to prevent the motion in the axial and tangential direction. And I also used the deformation 0.3mm as in the tutorial. Is this constrain of the 8 faces right? Because in the lesson 9 of your tutorial I'm not sure I get the hint right.nnThank you in advance, nKorina Dedousi n

,nI don't think any constraint is needed for the edges of the stent. You could simply define the balloon deformation. Could you try this? There might be a chance that a rigid body error shows up, in that case change the contact from frictionless to no separation.nRegards,nIshan.n

nnI have not looked at the problem yet but please try out Ishan's suggestion. It might help.nnRegards,nAshish Khemkan
